I have very long figure captions in a book. I use:
\listoffigures
to create a listing of these captions right after the table of contents. The figures themselves are given in each chapter. Is there a way to suppress the figure captions that now appear with the figure, but keep them in the \listoffigures
listing? The figure captions are long and so they don't fit together with figures. Since the captions are listed already in listoffigures
near table of contents the readers can simply refer to these and there's no need for caption{}
to appear with figure, but I want that information to still get used for the listing. Is this possible?
\caption[]{}
\caption[<long>]{<short>}
way suggested by Sigur could be what you want.
